You're trading with them? If you're trading, you're not fighting.
That's, by very definition, coordination. Casimir, you're making this too easy for me.
ARE the Grey, DRZ, both core-UIF and lackey-UIF (that plethora of clans that refuse to fight a decent war like yourself) the MASSES or not? Goddamn, you flip flop from saying "poor us, we're not that big despite what the numbers clearly say" to agreeing that you and your Non-aggression buddies are indeed as massive as everybody knows you are. You have MASSES of people. MASSES. Even if they only want to fight, they still make troops and trade goods. Stop pretending otherwise. Remember that term, intellectual dishonesty? Stop it.
If you can't beat them, join them? Or just puss out and refuse to fight them? How exactly does your brain justify this nonsense when you argue that those who are significantly weaker than you are inferior for fighting against an enemy you refuse to fight, but they simply cannot defeat (again, look at the NUMBERS)?
Please be more mindful and edit your posts for clarity. Yes, coalitions against larger opponents do work- especially with your coalition can outnumber them with only a clan or two such as the Strat 2.0, the counter-LLJK coalition.
So hear me one more time- LOOK. AT. THE. NUMBERS. Getting bigger than the UIF and its NAP forces is out of the question. Even the Grey Order ALONE is larger than LLJK.
So apply your own fucking logic. Form a coalition, and attack the Grey Order! That's essentially what you're telling everyone else to do. Grow a pair and bust a move you twit. Show me you can do it. I eagerly await to see your glorious crusade coalition fight the UIF. I double dog dare you.
I am marginally regretful for personal attacks. I truly want to talk to you in person. Come over to Fallen Teamspeak sometime, I'd love to chat.
That being said, marginally regretful is all you'll get. I've seen what the Crusaders have done (and not done), and I know that you have strong influence in that circle. Based upon the glowing descriptions of your own logical justifications for your actions, it's still appalling. It's boring. Your "advice" is unabashedly riddled with hypocrisy, "I don't want to lose by fighting them when I know I can't win!", "You should go do 'this or that' and then you'll beat them!"
Do you even realize it? You're so defensive about your actions, you've blinded yourself to the abundant failures of the political maneuvers that have turned a potentially awesome game - Strategus - into a nitwit's bargain of who can shake the most hands and avoid fighting until the numbers are overwhelming. And then, you expect us to be impressed?
We're not. Because that's lame as shit. I stick by my guns, rude as it may have been. You're unimpressive and intellectually dishonest. Prove me wrong.
Again. "Wait for the wipe" is a lot less fun than playing a game where wars and intrigue are abundant. Where power actually SHIFTS from time to time. The UIF was founded in 2010. They've been singing kumbaya together ever since.
When I'm wrong, I'll admit it. Maybe I tip toe the bounds of decency, but I will not yield my honesty to civility.
I'm no massive fan of splicing post apart, probably why my post aren't as clear as you'd like. I am mindful of what i say, but as you i speak only my mind. I have no need to defend my actions as all i have done is ride the wave. My factions aim is to get as much land as possible in strategus, and hold it, whether via war or diplomacy. You say you want to see the power shift, but surely that power shift would mean that you and your supporters would become more influential and be established as the next power bloc. It seems your only real aim is to make war, but having lost one many of your members have lost interest in strategus, making you incapable of doing so. If your success is so closely tied to your interest i'd say your aims are very similar to mine.
I also believe you've misinterpreted me when in referred to those in charge dictation to the masses. This was more of a comment on how my own faction operates, as i'm sure is the case for many, rather than my comments on the strategus diplomatic scene.
I'll also be a tad more specific on what i mean when i say coordinate. None of the "UIF" attacked Fallen/HRE. None of their resources, none of their troops, none of their members. The attack was planned and carried out by the desert alliance alone. Our aim was to destroy you to gain lands for ourselves. So that we may spread our influence as you have done.
You seem to regard cautious competence as a vice and and aimless aggression as a virtue. Something which i would disagree with. I doubt i'll get much more back other than being accused of being intellectually dishonest, which is ripe considering your highly biased perspective on the situation. Extensive discussion of this subject will bring little of gain to me, although im sure it will help to reassure your opinions of myself, and for you to restate teh fact you got beaten by a larger force of players. If you wish to discuss the past events of strategus or expand your knowledge of my diverse and interesting character feel free to contact me.
All in all, strategus is strategus. There's probably gunna be a big bad guy, who holds most of the land and other people wont like him.
I'd listen to the wise words from your founder.
